1.4 TSI Engines to be discontinued

[anthony]

I have just heard that VW are going to be phasing out the 1.4 tsi ENGINE,WHICH HAS BEEN FITTED LOCALLY IN MANY gOLF AND jETTA MODELS.

The reason is that it is too complicated,and expensive to produce.

It will be discontinued during the year worldwide.

Interesting. I wonder if anyone's dropped one of those into a Golf Mk1?

I wonder how the newer turbo engine will deal with boost at low revs ...

damn! and i just purchased a gti! can't wait to see their new engine though!

[markis]

Hmm interesting. Anyone know what will replace it? And what do you guys think that this would mean for gti demand and prices? I'm guessing the current 6r gti would depreciate like a stone once the new engine is on the market.
